    Weirdly, I thought yesterday was a tiny bit encouraging from a perspective of wanting them to win games this season. I thought they looked more like an ordinary bad NFL team, whereas week 1 they looked like they might go 0-17. The offensive line could have looked a worse. I thought the interior defensive line won the point of attack a reasonable amount of the time, even if they couldn't finish sacks because Baker Mayfield is just too darn strong for them. DJ Moore had a big day. The running backs did things. The biggest issues were that the secondary was truly putrid and Justin Fields can't play ordinary quarterback outside of two (weirdly out of place because of how good they were) drives. The td pass to cap the 92-yard TD drive was everything he doesn't do 95% of the time. Eventually they are going to say screw this and go back to letting him have designed runs, and that might win a few games if the fumbles bounce our way and he doesn't get hurt too quickly.

    Of the last 26 super bowl appearances for QBs, 14 were made by former first-round picks, 6 by a sixth-rounder (all Tom Brady), 3 by third-rounders, and 3 by second-rounders. You don't have to take a QB in the first round, but it helps a lot and is the most common way to get a good one. What I never want them to do is trade multiple picks to move up to get one.

    They lost that Super Bowl to an elite pocket passer. Let's see where they are in two years.

    I want what I've always wanted: An elite pocket passer. If you don't have one, nothing else matters, and if you do have one you're golden. QBs bust at a high enough rate that you should almost never trade up to get one, but you should keep drafting them if you don't have one. That's priority one. Priority two is supporting your QBs in every way possible. Pass-blocking offensive line, top-notch receivers. Once you get distracted by trifles like "running the football" or "playing defense" you've already lost.

    I don't think the rest of the offense is *that* bad. The line is below-average. The WR are pretty good and are getting open consistently (Fields actually has as many 200+ yards passing games as he did all of last season). The RBs are pretty good.

    Ecstatic is overstating it, but I'm definitely enjoying everyone coming around to the things I was called a complete idiot fucknut for pointing out last year. (Not that I'm not a C.I.F, I surely am). But this is why I don't take it seriously when I post something and someone goes off about what a completely ridiculous take it is. Sometimes I'm wrong, sometimes I'm right, but there doesn't seem to be any correlation with people freaking out over the takes and whether I'm right or wrong. This place wasn't as bad as some other places on the internet about it. A few other posters definitely had Fields doubts.

    Six first-round picks for the privilege of making Khalil Mack the biggest defensive cap hit in the league and two terrible QBs

    It's gotta be hard to look your WR room in the eye while sending this guy out there to throw to them. Or not throw to them.
  9. Hairyducked Idiot
    Do they think Peterman gives them a better chance to win? I thought he was only here for clipboard duties.
  10. Hairyducked Idiot
    I love the way he chases value with acccumulating draft picks. I hate the way he uses those picks. I started worrying the moment he went DB-DB-gadget with his first three picks in his first draft. 9 picks in the top 4 rounds the last two seasons. 3 DB, 2 DT, 2 WR, 1 RB, 1 OT. Interior offensive line and edge rushers are literally whoever we can pick up off the street in August, but gotta get that second second-round CB in two years.
  11. Hairyducked Idiot
    Medium certain. I wouldn't be drop-dead shocked if they went with Peterson, but I think they'd rather see Bagent.
  12. Hairyducked Idiot
    Over. But Fields won't be outright benched, he'll just get hurt at some point.
  13. Hairyducked Idiot
    I said it at the time: Letting Ryan Pace trade up for a QB a second-time is the kind of decision that destroys a franchise for a decade.
  14. Hairyducked Idiot
    yeah I didn't think going into the season that Eberflus could be in trouble, but this team is imploding. That locker room is going to be worse than Trestman-era real quick.
  15. Hairyducked Idiot
    This is all true but you *still* have to draft another QB. It probably won't fix everything (but it might help a lot). But not doing it is still worse.
  16. Hairyducked Idiot
    Trey Lance
  17. Hairyducked Idiot
    Add him to the "has had at least one career game with 225 passing yards and 2 passing tds" club. Justin Fields still not a member.
  18. Hairyducked Idiot
    What's worse is we're going to do it in the wrong order again. Hire a GM. Let him go through the entire process of hiring a head coach. Then let the two of them scout and draft a QB. We are absolutely bullheaded in our determination to never do that. We're going to draft a QB next year, then hire a head coach the year after, then get a ne GM the year after that who will inherit the coach and QB.
  19. Hairyducked Idiot
    Neither INT was on Fields but he had plenty of other bad plays so I don't feel bad for him.
  20. Hairyducked Idiot
    Claypool giving up on that play instead of chasing the INT is the end of his Bears career.
  21. Hairyducked Idiot
    .... less bad than last week but still pretty bad.
  22. Hairyducked Idiot
    oh god this is peak fun-bad. i'm in tears i'm laughing so hard.
  23. Hairyducked Idiot
    hahahahahahahahahahaha
  24. Hairyducked Idiot

  25. Hairyducked Idiot
